Only 1 in 10 NYC students from low-income areas graduates high school ready for college. It will take a city, but together, we can change this.

It Takes a City

it-takes-a-city

When the first 90 corps members entered their classrooms 25 years ago, they knew they were joining a group of people who shared their passion for educational equity. They didn’t know they’d become part of a group of leaders who would eventually reach more than 1 million New York City students.

Everybody has a role to play in the right for educational equity. Are you ready to give all students the outstanding education that they deserve?

Upcoming Events

It Takes A City is Teach For America – New York’s signature event, bringing together 500 New Yorkers to celebrate the impact our corps members and alumni are making in the lives of nearly 100,000 students every year.
